Eric Ames draws on original archival research to provide fresh
perspectives on Werner Herzog's breakthrough 1972 film, Aguirre,
the Wrath of God (Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes), which portrays an
expedition by Spanish conquistadors led by Aguirre (played by Klaus
Kinski) to find the legendary city of El Dorado. Ames explores how
the film is remembered: for its breathtaking visual style and
narrative power, but also for Herzog's tense, behind-the-scenes
relationship with star Kinski. Did Herzog really direct him at
gunpoint? Did they plot each other's murder? The legends begin here
... Ames reconstructs the film as an experiment in visualising the
past from the viewpoint of the present. Aguirre is not a history
film in the narrow sense, but it does engage a specific episode in
the conquest of the New World, and it explores that history in
terms of vision. Interweaving close analysis with extensive
archival research, Ames explores Aguirre as a seminal film about
the madness and hopelessness of Western striving. In addition, as
an appendix, he offers for the first time a complete translation of
an infamous, secretly recorded argument between Herzog and Kinski
on the set.
